Introduction
Our Challenge
Playing the business game and being spiritual may seem to be an oxymoron. A professional who attempts to rid herself of the conventional values of Wall Street to seek self-renewal and spiritual enlightenment may question her motive now and again. She may experience moments where godless ambition take hold of her, after all it's how the game is played. She struggles with purpose because spirituality never really became solidified or clear to her in a business context.
As Clear As MUD
If you were posed with the question: What is spirituality? We may come up with words such as love, morality, ethics, yoga, meditation, self-renewal, holistic etc... but What is the purpose of our spirituality? How do we know if we are being spiritual? We may reflect on our character or our ability to tolerate, to respect, to love; however, is this acting spiritually? Is than spirituality the basis for our morality? and Do spiritual truths influence or affect our daily lives?
Our Hope
Jesus spoke of hidden truths of a spirit filled life. To him true spirituality meant freedom from fear, health, abundance, love, emotional, mental, and physical healing, happiness, and purpose. These truths were central to the Torah and were the pathway toward a new spirituality.
'In him we live, move, and have our being; Christ is all encompassing. God is love and in love we live and have our beings. The moment we witness God in the minutes of our day is the moment we will witness greatness in our everyday spirituality.
Our Reality
The world we see merely reflects our own internal frame of reference the dominant ideas, wishes and emotions in our minds.Projection makes perception. We look inside first, decide the kind of world we want to see and then project that world outside, making it the truth as we see it. We make it true by our interpretations of what it is we are seeing. If we are using perception to justify our own mistakes our anger, our impulses to attack, our lack of love in whatever form it may take we will see a world of evil, destruction, malice, envy and despair. All this we must learn to forgive, not because we are being good and charitable, but because what we are seeing is not true. We have distorted the world by our twisted defences, and are therefore seeing what is not there. As we learn to recognise our perceptual errors, we also learn to look past them or forgive. At the same time we are forgiving ourselves, looking past our distorted self-concepts to the Self that God created in us and as us.
